Which technology reduces that penalty?

  • A.A heat pump drawing heat from the ambient air
  • B.A larger resistive heater, which warms the cabin more quickly and therefore consumes less energy in total
  • C.Nothing
  • D.A reversible refrigerant circuit that moves heat into the cabin rather than generating it, using far less energy

Answer: A

A heat pump delivers several times as much heat as the electrical energy it consumes. The last option explains exactly that principle, which makes it a correct and more instructive version of the same answer. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
